beyond the edge

i still did not know the names of my attackers; just that the three bastards were after me. i had many enemies but which one had hired these well-built and well trained assassins? well it could all come later once i found a safer place to hide, have something to eat and some time to stop and think, that put the lid on it! i had to find out what time it was, and if i was too late to alert the dragon lady, she had to know, but what? i could not remeber at the time, so i just stood up and got moving.

suddenly a small form bumped into me. how could i have forgotten the little creature, ” i dont know your name, i dont even know why you are here and what you want from me? but if you stay with me then you will be in danger! so hurry and go back to where you came from.” i shoved the kitty away from me, i didnt want to throw the poor thing!

a few steps later it leaped and landed in my arms, how? well i still had to figure that one out, but it did and as it did even i was comforted.

then

i could not see anything, the light was so bright that my eyes hurtand i dropped the feline, it wasnt a treecat per say but it wasnt any normal cat either. it bleaked in pain just as i screamed for my eyes. and the thunderpus noised that came with it, for a second i thought i was hit by lightning, or was standing behind an air-liners main engine! how ever the heat wave and the shock from the impact though only a nanosecond later than the disaster took me and nearly tore me to shreds as i was splattered on to the wall at the end of the alleyway. the wall had spikes on it. although i couldnt feel just yet but the immense increase in pain distinctly gave the impression that i was alive but impaled ont eh wall in various places.

as sight returned i saw my tiny friend had suffered about the same fate as me, though i could not tell if it was dead or alive as it didnt seem to be moving yet. and then all was dark again, the light from the blast was gone. and i was petrified, that must have been the dragon lady’s pinnace, that was the only thing that blast could have been, and i mourned my stupididty, if only i had realised the conspiracy earlier, i might have been able to save the dragon lady and her scaly companion ….

“kyuuuu!” came a voice, but i was no longer able to discern if it was just my hallucination from fatigue or if it was reality and so i lost the battle against unconsciousness
